there is now a warning in QB Desktop that it will print 4 digits, and that the IRS will accept it. Not sure I want to risk it. But if anyone reading is taking the risk, please print this forum out, and screenshot that warning. I'd love to check back later to see if there were problems.
I'm going to waste an hour or two creating a template in MS Publisher so i can manually enter the five 1099NEC that I need to print. I wonder if the 1096 will print correctly...
